The AI Keynote: The Rise of Latin America’s Next‑Generation AI Hubs

The rise of next‑generation digital hubs in Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Mexico, and Campinas illustrates a new wave of mega‑campuses built for AI and high‑density compute. These hubs combine renewable energy, advanced cooling, and strategic regional partnerships to enable sovereign‑scale infrastructure across Latin America. The keynote explores what it takes to turn vision into reality.

• Case study: Elea’s Rio hub, highlighting the key enablers of AI‑ready infrastructure
• Power sourcing, subsea connectivity, workforce development, and permitting frameworks.
• The Campinas hub spans 1M square meters with 300MW already guaranteed and a clear expansion path to 1GW - a unique achievement in Brazil, with no other company securing this level of energy in the same timeframe.
• Terranova's Mexican active and operating site -  delivered in just 10 months, demonstrating rapid execution and reliability.
• Risks of “hype vs. delivery” and the path to making digital hubs fully operational.
